Those are air cooled HPS, and I just reduced the bulb size...I was running 1100 watt bulbs and swapped them out for 600 watts

That is a handy thing to be! I kept having to ask Google today setting up the Blumats...I'm standard ambidextrousI actually prefer the fahrenheit scale for gardening. Smaller increments.
Yup, I run all my nutrients (Flora trio and calmag) through the blumats. Silica did cause problems for me so I don't add that to the reservoir.
And thanks for the heads up on silica....I'll probably run Epsom and calmag is all.
Mine was too and my nutriculture is still taking up space. I keep thinking it would make an awesome cloner, if I ever needed to make 100 clones at a time (I don't). Yep, things can go bad real quick in hydro.
I would like to try a flood and drain setup sometime. Just have had enough floods for a while.

What about selling the ballasts online? I thought about selling them on FB marketplace but I didn't like the idea of meeting someone to sell grow equipment. I'm still sketchy about carrying bags of coco into the house, I'm sure my neighbors know what's going on... and they probably smell us smoking up on the patio all the time lol. I bought four cubic feet of perlite from home depot for curbside pickup. I had no idea how big four cubic feet was! Slugging that shit in... nothing to see here.

That's why I liked f&d with hydroton and rapid rooters.

DWC was the same, I buy my nutrients from Amazon so nobody knew anything.

One of those ballasts, and there's no telling which one, was emitting electronic interference that was frying my electrical meter. Over and over. I didn't know until I got a knock on the door at the very moment I was making vast quantities of dry ice hash in my kitchen....it was a sympathetic lineman who told me they had to replace my meter three times in 2 months. Then he just looked at me intently and thanked me for my time and walked away. MESSAGE RECEIVED LOUD AND CLEAR.
So there's no way I would sell those. Not ethical.

EBay is how I would sell used equipment. I have a few items to get rid if myself.
My buddy was saying "your family is going to go nuts when you die and they have to clean this place out". I certainly hope so!!
Yeah some of those Chinese ballasts are a little scary. I finally upgraded to some that I can sleep better at night with.

I have 3 botanicare turbogardens and a 3x6 flood table. You really can't have a water disaster with f&d. The tray sits above the res and drains directly into it.

You went there, eh? LolSomeone had to cover for @Paul Drake she deserves a day off every once in awhile
While researching our visitor from earlier today I saw PD called them a sock on Nov 21 last year. How do you all have such fine radar in this regard?? I think I know who you are on the lookout for. I could be wrong.
